Exams & Cleanings
Achieving optimal dental health is possible with just one simple act: making sure to visit the dentist on a regular basis. Dr. Jovanovic, a dentist serving Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, and Spring, Texas, recommends that her patients come in for a routine dental exam and dental cleaning twice a year. During these visits, her team of dental hygienists will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s teeth and gums.
In addition to regular appointments, Dr. Jovanovic also advises her patients to practice good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. By following these basic steps, patients can maintain healthy and decay-free teeth and gums for years to come.
Visiting the dentist and practicing good oral hygiene are the two keys to wonderful oral health. With Dr. Jovanovic and her experienced staff in Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, and Spring, TX, you can rest assured that your smile will remain healthy, beautiful, and bright. Dr. Jovanovic, along with her experienced staff of dental hygienists will typically perform the following steps during these visits:
- Professional teeth cleaning – Our hygienists have been thoroughly trained and use the most up-to-date dental technology to get rid of those pesky plaque and tartar buildups that appear in between visits. No matter how careful you are when brushing and flossing, it's impossible to rid yourself of these accumulations - that's why it's essential to have routine professional teeth cleanings as part of a comprehensive oral health care regimen.
- Gum health assessment – At your dental exam and teeth cleaning visit, our hygienists may need to assess your gum health. To do this, they'll use a tool to measure the depths of the pockets that form around your teeth. This will tell us if your gum tissue is healthy or if more steps are needed to avoid gum disease.
- Oral exam – Dr. Jovanovic typically takes an in-depth look at each patient during their routine visits, examining for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease, as well as any early signs of oral cancer which normally don't present symptoms. You may also need to take an X-ray, and we offer our patients 3D digital CBCT X-rays, which not only emit little radiation but also allow Dr. Jovanovic to view the results right away on her computer screen.

What are Dental Exams and Professional Cleanings?
Dental exams and dental cleanings are important procedures that help maintain overall oral health. During a dental exam, the dentist will check the teeth and gums for any signs of disease or damage. They will also look for any cavities or other problems that may need to be addressed. The dentist may also take X-rays to get a better look at the teeth and jaw.
During a dental cleaning, the hygienist will use special dental tools to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. They will also polish the teeth and may apply a fluoride treatment to help protect the teeth from decay. After the cleaning, the hygienist will note any signs of gum disease and advise the patient on how to practice good oral hygiene. Regular dental exams and cleanings are important for maintaining healthy teeth and gums and avoiding more serious dental problems.
